• This card can be searched by "Aratama", "Shinobaron Shade Peacock", "Shinobaroness Peacock", "Shinobird Power Spot", "Cyber Angel Benten", "Sky Scourge Cidhels", "Celestial Knightlord Parshath", "Victorica, Angel of Bravery", "Power Angel Valkyria", "Chaos Zone", "Toy Soldier", "Photon Veil", "Primathmech Alembertian", "Vampire Dragon", "Resonator Engine", "Witch of the Black Forest", and other generic searchers.
  • If this card is Normal Summoned on the same turn it was searched by "Witch of the Black Forest", its effect on the End Phase will not activate and it will remain on the field.

• This card can be useful against monsters that replace themselves after being destroyed by battle, such as "UFO Turtle", "Cyber Larva", "Nova Summoner", most of the "Yang Zing" and "Gusto" monsters, etc.

• Technically, "Asura Priest" can be used for OTKs with a certain set of cards. With "Asura Priest" (1700 ATK) on the field, activate "Ojama Trio" to give your opponent three tokens, then activate "Final Attack Orders" or "Level Limit - Area A" to shift all those Ojama Tokens (0 ATK) into Attack Position. "Asura Priest" then simply needs to be boosted with an ATK increasing card that gives at least 700 ATK, like "Rush Recklessly" or "United We Stand". Destroying the tokens with "Asura Priest" will should inflict at least 7200 damage and each Token will deal an additional 300 damage upon destruction, inflicting 8100 damage in total.
  • "Final Attack Orders" and "Level Limit - Area A" can also be switched for "Zero Gravity", another option for the ATK boost is found in "Black Pendant" which deals less damage via "Asura Priest" but burns the opponent during the End Phase for another 500 damage when "Asura Priest" leaves the field via the Spirit effect, and "Nightmare Archfiends" or "Revival Gift" can substitute "Ojama Trio", though the stats of the summoned tokens will be substantially higher.

• This card can be combined with "Honest", since its ATK boost lasts until the end of the turn. The more monsters the opponent controls and the higher the ATK difference between his strongest monster and the remaining ones the more damage this card can inflict.
